SUMMARY.

true use of the Sartor Resartus, to exhibit the Wonder of daily life and common things; and to show that all Forms are but Clothes, and temporary. Practical inferences enough will follow. (p. 185.)


Chap. X. The Dandiacal Body.

The Dandy defined. The Dandiacal Sect a new modification of the primeval superstition Self-worship: How to he distinguished. Their Sacred Books (Fashionable Novels) unreadable. Dandyism's Articles of Faith. Brotherhood of Poor-Slaves; vowed to perpetual Poverty; worshippers of Earth; distinguished by peculiar costume and diet. Picture of a Poor-Slave Household; and of a Dandiacal. Teufelsdröckh fears these two Sects may spread, till they part all England between them, and then frightfully collide. (p. 188.)


Chap. XI. Tailors.

Injustice done to Tailors, actual and metaphorical. Their rights and great services will one day be duly recognised. (p. 199.)


Chap. XII. Farewell.

Teufelsdröckh's strange manner of speech, but resolute, truthful character: His purpose seemingly to proselytise, to unite the wakeful earnest in these dark times. Letter from Hofrath Heuschrecke announcing that Teufelsdröckh has disappeared from Weissnichtwo. Editor guesses he will appear again. Friendly Farewell. (p. 202.)
